Explanation
The phrasal verbs are correctly matched with their provided meanings. Regarding whether their meanings are the same as their parts, the context clarifies that a phrasal verb is a verb followed by a preposition or an adverb, and its meaning is often different from the meanings of its individual parts put together. Therefore, the meanings of these phrasal verbs are not the same as the literal meanings of their separate words.
